Heart-on-a-chip device identifies youth-enhancing “cocktail” to repair old hearts
College of Engineering
The heart is a pump that wears out over time—that, at least, was the prevailing view. New research has shown that the heart’s aging results from changes in intercellular communications, which tell heart cells, sometimes even healthy ones, to stiffen and break down. By decoding these complex messages, a team of researchers, led by Pinar […] The post Heart-on-a-chip device identifies youth-enhancing “cocktail” to repair old hearts appeared first on Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering .
